James Bond goes on his first ever mission as a 00. Le Chiffre is a banker
to the world's terrorists. He is participating in a poker game at
Montenegro, where he must win back his money, in order to stay safe among
the terrorist market. The boss of MI6, known simply as M sends Bond, along
with Vesper Lynd to attend this game and prevent Le Chiffre from winning.
Bond, using help from Felix Leiter, Mathis and having Vesper pose as his
wife, enters the most important poker game in his already dangerous career.
But if Bond defeats Le Chiffre, will he and Vesper Lynd remain safe?
Recently promoted to 00 status, James Bond takes over his first mission, in
which he faces a mysterious private banker to world terrorism and poker
player, Le Chiffre. Along with a beautiful Treasury agent and the MI6 man
in Montenegro, Bond takes part in a high stakes poker game set up by Le
Chiffre in order to recover a huge sum of his clients' money he lost in a
failed plot that the British spy took down. 007 will not only discover the
threatening organization behind his enemy, but the worst of all truths: to
not trust on anyone.
Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill.
But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in
quick succession, he is elevated to '00' status. Bond's first 007 mission
takes him to Uganda where he is to spy on a terrorist, Mollaka. Not
everything goes to plan and Bond decides to investigate, independently of
MI6, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a
lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange.
He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre, banker to the world's
terrorist organizations. Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le
Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in
Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him,
knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. 'M'
places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. At first
skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens
as they brave danger together and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre.
In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Mathis MI6's local field agent, and
Felix Leiter who is representing the interests of the CIA. The marathon
game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond
blood money and reaching a terrifying climax.
The British Establishment has an ally, in the guise of newly appointed

sparing partner of both intelligence and brutality, his mission is to take
the ultimate gamble and place his life on the line in the arenas of

more but it is in Casino Royale where this battle of wit and cunning will
take place, taking no prisoners and leaving nothing but death in his wake.
